When you are talking about Davis Cup, when you are talking about grand slams, when you are talking about the calendar, when you are talking about a lot of things that can be better for the tour... most of the players think that's the right way
Lleyton is a former world number one, twice a grand slam champion and Australia's most successful Davis Cup player
More than a lack of passion, it is a weariness from many years of playing at this level, week after week. The important thing now is to work each day at 100 per cent with the excitement needed to win the Davis Cup.
The last time he played in the Davis Cup, it was four days after the US Open final and he beat (Richard) Gasquet 6-3, 6-0, 6-1 and Tsonga 6-0, 6-2, 6-4!
We have to win the Davis Cup.
He's always valued the Davis Cup and he's a great leader. He pretty much guarantees two points for the team
I am tired ... I am tired, sure. I want to stop, but I can't because I have the Davis Cup. But I'm really tired.
It's a tough match not only to play the first game for Argentina but also against my good friend Rafa. It's a new challenge, but it definitely motivates me to be playing in my first Davis Cup final.
I don’t think the Americans realize how much the Davis Cup means to the French team and the public. We have World Cup soccer, the Tour de France and the Davis Cup. In America, they have 10 different things more important than the Davis Cup.

From 0 to 10, I would give Argentina a 2 to win Davis Cup and that's being nice. Spain is clearly superior to Argentina. We are playing at home with a large audience. We are superior on clay, grass, hard courts and, if necessary, even on roller skates. I am optimistic. I think they will win 4-1 or 3-2, ...
Perhaps we are the favourites, but we have to show it on the court ... They are a very strong team and they play very good in Davis Cup, so it's going to be tough for sure.
For sure they will win the Davis Cup ... I don’t see how they can’t, because there are so many of them and they are so young.
Playing the Davis Cup every year wears you out, especially when the season ends in December ... I’d like to see it every two years or get rid of one round or play best-of-three-sets instead of best-of-five.
I think personally it’s his last major chance of winning something obviously very important ... I think definitely he’s probably running out of chances to win a Grand Slam, so Davis Cup is the main thing.
I'm not lacking passion. What I'm suffering is weariness from many years of playing at this level, week after week. But it's important to work at 100 percent each day to try and win this Davis Cup.
You have all these guys saying they're playing on empty tanks, but I think I'm the guy, counting Davis Cup, who has played the most matches this season.
Argentina are a very strong team and they play very well in the Davis Cup so it's going to be tough.
We're under the same pressure as they are, we have to win the Davis Cup
Cecil said he's still willing to play for the Davis Cup team
Hosting things like the Davis Cup can only help us in what we want to do, and with the guys playing so well, it’s a huge step for us
Can you imagine David Ferrer having to play a Davis Cup final as a substitute for an injured Rafael Nadal without having practiced for six months?
I cannot pretend to be a tennis expert of (Slobodan) Zivojinovic’s caliber but I am a big tennis fan and my love for the game has been undiminished since I saw him play against (formerWimbledonchampion) Pat Cash in the Davis Cup inSplit1987.
